Chapter 355 The plan begins
After getting Yaojia's consent, Bai Huahua immediately started to prepare.
A few days later, there were loud sounds of gongs and drums and firecrackers in the Nangong Mansion.
In addition to various officials, the common people who had been cured by Mingjue's medical skills also came to the wedding.
The Nangong Mansion was unprecedentedly lively, with the front and back yards filled with guests.
Yao Jia was pregnant and couldn't overwork or drink alcohol, so several husbands personally went to toast on her behalf.
After the worship, she sat at the same table with An He who had just returned from the paddock.
An He brought good news to everyone - the emperor had planned to enjoy his retirement, and after the Liang State delegation left, he would pass the throne to Xiao Fengyi.
Bai Huahua looked puzzled, "If His Majesty passes on the throne while he is still alive, then wouldn't Daxia have two emperors?"
This remark was successfully criticized by Yao Jia.
"It's treasonous. What do you mean by two emperors? They are called the emperor emeritus. Do you understand?"
Le Wuyou's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at An He, "If this is the case, should we ask the current crown prince to break off the engagement, or ask His Majesty to break off the engagement?"
An He was also in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why not let my brother be the one? I can just break off the engagement with you and let my brother arrange a marriage between me and Ruyi."
These words touched Lin Ruyi's heart. She and An He looked forward to their future wedding and even planned on having children.
"When the time comes, we must not be like our cousin who can't even tell whose child is in her belly."
An He rolled her eyes at him, "What do you mean? Do you think you should treat someone differently just because they are not yours? If that's the case, I have to think about whether or not to marry you."
Lin Ruyi was ashamed. She was indeed a good sister to Yao Jiacheng. Even the words they said were exactly the same.
He immediately apologized with a smile, clasped his hands together and begged for mercy: "Good An He, I was wrong. Is it okay if I am wrong? I swear, no matter whose child it is, I will treat them equally and as if they were my own."
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Wuyou also took the opportunity to express his position, "Jia Jia, me too, as long as it is your child, I will love and care for it with all my heart, regardless of its bloodline."
Le Wuyou's voice was as gentle as ever, and his eyes revealed unquestionable affection.
He gently took Yao Jia's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it lightly. The delicacy and tenderness of her expression moved everyone present.
Yao Jia smiled and nodded, with happiness shining in her eyes.
In fact, I have analyzed privately with Mingjue who this child might be from. Combining it with the order of sleeping with the emperor during that period, Mingjue made a calculation.
Lock on Gu Xiyan, Nangong Xiulan, Shuanghua, Bai Huahua, and him.
Because Yao Jia's conception date that month happened to be the period when they were sleeping with each other.
Yao Jia nodded. If that was the case, there were still several people who had no chance.
Especially Ye Sinan, who left after the New Year. Since Hongying told him the news of her pregnancy, he has written several letters in a row to accuse her of injustice.
He had no involvement in Yao Jia's pregnancy this time, and felt it was unfair. In his own words, "Others can still guess whether the child is theirs, but I don't have any hope at all. I can treat the child as my own flesh and blood, but the child born by Yao Yao is naturally as quirky as you. He will definitely know that I am not his biological father and is not as close to me as other fathers. What should I do?"
Yao Jia now thinks about it carefully, and puts herself in his shoes. She did have some grudges against Uncle Lin in the past, but Uncle Lin has always treated her as his own daughter, taking good care of her, and giving her everything he thinks is good without reservation.
As night fell, the guests gradually dispersed and Nangong Mansion returned to tranquility.
Although you can't have the wedding night in the early stages of pregnancy, the situation still needs to move forward.
Yao Jia was surrounded by the crowd and sent back to Mingjue Courtyard.
Sitting on the red wedding bed, Yao Jia drank tea and gently stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant, imagining what the baby would look like when it was born. Would it be a boy or a girl?
Imagining the happy scene of their big family, my heart is filled with warmth.
"Yaoyao, are you tired? How do you feel? Is your waist sore?"
Mingjue's gentle voice sounded in his ears. He gently took the teacup from Yaojia's hand, put it aside, then carefully took off her shoes and socks and soaked her feet.
The foot washing water is specially made for pregnant women. The water temperature cannot be too high, but it can greatly soothe the feet. After a while, Yao Jia felt a little drowsy.
Mingjue gently wiped Yaojia's feet dry and carefully put on soft shoes and socks for her, his movements gentle and loving.
"It's getting late. Let me help you get some rest."
Yao Jia nodded and slowly stood up.
Mingjue immediately held her firmly, fearing that she might get into any mishap. After helping her lie down, he also lay down beside her.
The candlelight flickered in the room, illuminating the two people lying straight on the bed.
Yao Jia looked at the dragon and phoenix candles burning outside the tent, pursed her lips, turned sideways, and snuggled into Ming Jue's arms.
Mingjue stretched out his arms and pulled her into his arms.
"Are you not sleepy anymore?"
"I don't know why, but once I lay down, I felt so excited and not so sleepy anymore."
Mingjue chuckled and turned sideways.
The two men faced each other and looked into each other's eyes.
Yao Jia raised her hand, and her fingertips gently stroked Ming Jue's eyebrows, all the way down along the center of the eyebrows.
When it reached the tip of her nose, Mingjue caught it, spread out her palm, and kissed it.
"Mingjue, giving birth must be painful, right? But I don't want to feel that much pain."
Although Yao Jia had never given birth to a child, she had seen everything in Xiaoyao Tower since she was a child. Some Hua Niang accidentally got pregnant, but she couldn't bear to abort the baby, so she would give birth to the baby.
Yao Jia did not see the birth process, but heard from other people that Hua Niang was sweating all over from the pain and fainted several times.
Mingjue heard the barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
He raised his eyes to look at her, and his gentle outline was reflected in her clear eyes.
He hugged her tighter, as if to use his body temperature to dispel all her fears.
"Yaoyao, don't be afraid. Since you became pregnant, I have started to learn the art of midwifery. I will make sure you give birth to the baby smoothly. Don't be afraid of the pain. I have developed a medicine recently. If you smell it during childbirth, you won't feel the pain. Several midwives have come to the clinic to buy this medicine for women in labor, and they have reported that it is very effective."
Now Yao Jia felt a little relieved.
"If that's the case, I'm thinking of having another child after this one is born. You know, Anan wasn't there during this pregnancy, and he felt it was unfair, so I..."
Mingjue gently stroked Yaojia's hair, pondered for a moment, and slowly spoke, "Logically speaking, your physical fitness can regenerate, but the Nangong family has always been a single-line family, and I am worried that your body cannot withstand the pressure of continuous production.
Since you have this in mind, after you give birth, I will take good care of your body and make sure your physical condition allows us to make further plans, okay?"
Yao Jia nodded gently and snuggled into Ming Jue's chest, feeling the solidity and security.
As if he thought of something, he immediately straightened up and looked at Mingjue seriously.
"Mingjue, I have something I must confess to you."
Mingjue gently held Yaojia's hand and said softly, "You say."
Yao Jia took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly said: "Ming Jue, I have decided to leave Kyoto after giving birth to the baby. I know this decision is a bit arbitrary. Your clinic has only been open for a short time, but don't worry, when I find a place to live, I will open a bigger and better clinic for you, okay?"
Mingjue frowned slightly. Although his heart was in turmoil, he remained calm on the surface. He held her hand tightly and smiled gently, "As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Since I'm married to you, naturally, I will go wherever you go. But why did Yaoyao suddenly decide to leave here?"
